The Foo Fighters frontman had the ace of spades tattooed on his left forearm in a tribute to the band’s single of the same name.

The pair had been friends for years and after the news of his passing surfaced, Dave Grohl posted his heartbreak: ‘We’ve lost a friend & legend. My heart is broken. RIP Lemmy. Born To Lose, Lived To Win.’

It has since been announced by Motorhead’s drummer Mikkey Dee that the band is now ‘over’ following the death of their frontman.

He told Swedish newspaper Expressen: ‘Lemmy was Motörhead, but the band will live on in the memories of many.

‘We won’t be doing any more tours or anything. And there won’t be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone.’

The music world is still reeling from the news that the 70-year-old musician died just two days after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, reportedly of the brain and neck.

It has since come to light that Lemmy was allegedly given two months to live by doctors, but that the Motorhead singer had ‘willed himself to die’ according to drummer Mikkey Dee.

He said: ‘When [Lemmy] went home he said, “I’ve had a good run, f*** it”, and then more or less laid down and died.’

Tributes are still pouring in for Lemmy Kilmister as fans adjust to the news of his death.
